gaiusgermanicus 's review for:

The Myth of Male Power by Warren Farrell
1.0

I feel like I gave this book a fair shake by reading at least a third of it before dropping it.

It has a bunch of interesting ideas, but also some of the stupidest ones I had ever read. Made it up to "in arab countries women cover themselves to force men to guarantee providing before they get the goods". Then how come before a man (Mohammed) imposed his religion in the region, women didn't do that? How come if they want to step away from the "transaction" (which is in men's interest because they'd get the goods without paying the price), they are violently snuffed out?

It's like one of those guys who keep women in their basement wrote this. "I am an innocent powerless dude here and do you know who has the real power in this house? That chick in my basement."

So stupid.
